Anyone knows any english or chinese movies that are with very high intelligent "mind battles" or "thinking battles" to recommend?
Anime like death note...
Movie maybe all i know is "running out of time".
暗战
da vinci code
If it's mindfuck movies, I recommend Memento and Donnie Darko.
And Clockwork Orange
i like The Usual Suspects
not "mind battles" but Reservior Dogs was also excellent, albeit a blatant rip off of a HK movie

Exiled?
didnt really like da vinci code.....=\
go watch the matrix. but if you can come up with a definite 'conclusion', you are not 'thinking' enough. my opinion.
Hmmm movie with a lot of twist is "XIII" where there are mind games and things are not what it seems to be
Plot Summary
The first female US President Sally Sheridan is shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Her assassin narrowly escapes the scene with his life, national security hot on his heels - or so it seems. Three months later, an elderly couple discover the body of a wounded man in a tree, wearing a parachute. The young man (Dorff) cannot remember the slightest thing about his own identity. The only clue is a tattoo on his neck, "XIII". Meanwhile, in the Whitehouse, government intelligence is still conducting the search for the President's killer. With the elections just weeks away, a confirmed suspect could swing the vote for the administration. Hours after XIII's location is picked up by covert intelligence, elite special ops forces are swarming the couple's house in Cape Fear. Running on adrenaline and instinct, XIII tactically takes out the soldiers one by one. On the run, clinging to one desperate clue after another, XIII begins to piece back his life, fragments of his memory returning. Finally captured, he learns that he has been given a stolen identity and placed undercover to flush out a group of conspirators threatening to overthrow the government. Ensconced within the highest echelons of power the conspirators run their own security agency alongside the Government's. Both are out to find him. The only way for XIII to get his own life back is to play bait. A dangerous game, especially when you don't know who you really are.
XIII, i assumed the story is imcomplete yet, it seems like a drama series. DVD i think is not out yet ba.
da vinci code, heard that it is quite a bad movie.
Maybe should buy Anamorph or Donnie Darko.
Clockwork Orange i dont think i can find that movie.
Nowsaday, good action movie with good plot is hard to find.
